Man's best friend has got nothing on these Cat commanders. Cats have been on the rise in popularity in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's Commander format. Most frequently found in green and white, Cat decks are combat-focused builds with creature type and equipment synergies. They are a top-tier creature, and a well-piloted Cat deck is incredibly hard to stop in combat.

Whether you're looking to swarm the battlefield with Cat tokens, give your furry friends some shiny swords to play with, or create a single, unstoppable feline, consider some of these commanders if you're looking to build a Cat deck.

11 🐻 Brimaz, King Of Oreskos

A Good Cat, Before His Fall

Brimaz, King of Oreskos will fall somewhere between a Cat token and Voltron deck. His ability triggers whenever he at🌠tacks or blocks, wherein you generate a 1/1 Cat Solider token that attacks or blocks in tandem with him. This ability will be able to trigger with frequency due to his vigilance♔ ability.

You'll want to include equipment cards like Stoneforge Masterwork to ensure that Brimaz can attack every turn and not be destroyed through combat. Additionally, include utility artifacts like Obelisk of the Urd to boost the power of your Cat tokens, allowing them to stay on the battlefield after Brimaz attacks or blocks.

9 Nazahn, Re🐲vered Bladesmith 😼

Load Up Your Cats With Hammers

Nazahn, Revered Bladesmith is the perfect option if you're looking to run a powerful equipment deck. Not only do your equipped creatures have the ability to tap a defending creature when they attack, but when Nazahn enters the battlefield, you get to search your library for Hammer of Nazahn. It is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the most p🔴owerful equipment ca🐬rds in Magic: The Gathering. When it's on the battlefield, you get to attach any new equipment that enters the battlefield directly to a creature you control, eliminating the need to pay equip costs.

On top of that, Hammer of Nazahn gives the creature it's attached to indestructible and can also be equipped as it enters the battlefield, immediately protecting any creature you want from being destroyed. You can start loading up creatures with your favourite equipment and in tandem with Nazahn's ability, start dealing unblocked damage very quickly.

8 Kemba🦂, Kha Regent

Quantity Over Quality

Unlike the other equipment-focused commanders on this list, Kemba, Kha Regent cares less about powerful equipment and more about cheap equipment. The more equipment attached to Kemba, the more Cat tokens you get to create at the beginning of your upkeep. That being said, you'll still want some equipment staples like Loxodon Warhammer and Sword of the Animist.

Use cheap equipment options like Golem-Skin Gauntlets that benefit from having multiple equipment attached to Kemba or equipment like Robe of Stars to offer Kemba extra protection to make sure her upkeep🍒 ability triggers.

7 🍌 Mirri,🔴 Weatherlight Duelist

You Decide How Combat Is Going

Mirri, Weatherlight Duelist makes it so that each opponent can only block with one creature when she attacks or only attack you with one creature when she's tapped, making it difficult for your opponent to prevent and deal damage. Although this ability only triggers when Mirri attacks, you'll undoubtedly be beefing her up with equipment, and first strike will deter opponents from blocking her.

You could go for a lot of Cat tokens or keep your build primarily to regular Cat creatures. Either way, Mirri prevents you from being overrun by opponents with a large number of creatures as long as she's attacking each turn.

6 Jinnie Fay, Jetmir's Second

Cat Token Extraordinaire

While Jinnie Fay is not expressly a Cat commander, she can easily be built that way. Her ability to turn any token entering the battlefield into a 2/2 Cat token wi♚th haste synergizes so well with Naya colours. With access to creating Saproling, Soldier, Goblin, and even treasure tokens, the whole strategy with this deck is so spam token generators like Grand Crescendo and Black Market Tycoon.

Of course, you'll want to include Cat staples like Regal Caracal and Feline Sovereign to boost the Cat tokens you're creating. Be sure to include protection for Jinnie Fay, as without her, you'll be dealing with a random assortment of token types that don't have many synergies together.

5 ✤ Jetmir, Nexus Of Revels

Overwhelming Might

Jinnie Fay's boss cares less about Cats and more about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sheer volume of creatures you have, but there's no reason he can't work as a purely Cat commander. Similar to Jinnie Fay, you'll want to have a focus on creating Cat creature tokens to get as many of them as possible onto the battlefield, using enchantments like Felidar Retreat. The more creatures you control, the stronger they get.

Having access to red offers some versatility with ins👍tants like Naya Charm and Chaos Warp, which can help supplement the limited removal that green offers. With enough creatu෴res out, Jetmir plus the sorcery Titanic Ultimatum is almost a surefire way to take a player out of the game.

4 Sovereign Okinec Ahau 𒐪

Never Stop Growing

Sometimes, you just want to pump out the biggest teamꦬ turn after turn and not have to worry about silly things like spells or combat tricks. Sovereign Okinec Ahau lets you do just that thanks to his very unique ability.

Anytime this kitty attacks, each creature you control with a power larger than its base power gets +1/+1 counters equal to the difference. So if you have a 1/1 Cat token getting +1/+1 from some effect, you get to add an extra +1/+1 counter to it. This gets exponentially bigger turn after turn so keep swinging with the Sovereign and you'll overwhelm your opponents eventually.

3 Ajani🐎, Nacatl Pariah / Ajani, Nacatl Avenger

Cat Warrior Turned Planeswalker

Modern Horizons 3 takes you back to when some of your favorite Planeswalkers were young, before they had awakened their Planeswalker spark. This Ajani card starts off as a creature and makes a 2/1 Cat token when it comes into play, likely representing his beloved brother. Once any Cat you control dies, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you ge🐲t to flip Ajani into his planeswalker side.

Now a fury-filled planeswalker, Ajani can pump up your Cat creatures with +1/+1 coun🌌ters, create more Cat tokens while dealing damage, and wiping the board to make all your opponents have to rebuild from practically nothing.

2 Arahbo, Roar Of The World 🐻

The Cat Avatar Remains Strong

The eminence ability is one we likely won't see again in Commander and for good reason. It's a ridiculously powerful ability that is active even when your commander is in the command zone. Arahbo, Roar of the World, gives a target Cat +3/+3 at the beginning of combat, meaning by turn two, with creatures like Sacred Cat and Loam Lion, you'll be able to attack your opponents with a 4/4. This damage can add up quickly in the early game if not stopped.

If that wasn't strong enough, in conjunction with all the other Cat synergies you can create, you could pay three mana to double another Cat's power and give it trample when Arahbo is in play. Arahbo is undoubtedly the king of the pride when it comes to Cat commanders.
